At The Gates "Slaughter Of The Soul" Live At Wacken 2008

[therandomgoth]

theyre actually pretty good live, the only bit that didnt really sound the same was the solo.

[drawnacrol]

This band kicks so much ass!!!!

[kinnnikudesu]

am i japanese?

[SlapphePikkur]

I disagree, I think this is what Death Metal in general was supposed to be.

In Flames from "The Jester Race" to "Reroute To Remain" is in my eyes the ever-existing image of a Melo-death Utopia.

[redl3ss]

@SlapphePikkur this is what death metal was supposed to be? Go check Immolation or Morbid Angel u fucking cunt.

[SlapphePikkur]

@redl3ss

This is what I personally think it should be.

Please behave on the net, and respect other people's opinions.

Likewise, I respect that you think that Morbid Angel is what Death Metal is supposed to sound like.

[SorcAimanos]

@SlapphePikkur In my opinion:

Death Metal: Nile, Monstrosity, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Kataklysm etc.

Melodeath: Insomnium, Kalmah, Dark Tranquility and yes At the gates too.

It's just a bit to melodic to realy be death metal.

[SlapphePikkur]

@SorcAimanos

I sort of agree on that one, 'cept for Kalmah (never really liked them that much).

To twist Einstein's quote on religion, I think that metal without melody is dull, and that melody without metal is blind.

[SorcAimanos]

@SlapphePikkur Ah nice quote there :D.

Well bands like insomnium dare to use clean vocals whilst Death metal is tuned down guitars going dum dum dum without much of a clean vocalist in it xD. But I would not say that Death metal is not melodic, it's just molodic in another way.

[SlapphePikkur]

@SorcAimanos

My point exactly, and I find that At The Gates are melodic in the typical DM-way, rather than like bands like Insomnium and In Flames.

[daylightghost2009]

FUCK... 2:23 look at the sky... there won't be another dawn.

[philipkeaveney777]

Ironic as he is clearly the only Ginger that has a soul...

[mentalparasite666]

fuck yes! This proves how epic they are

[MrSnowyShow2]

Tomas Lindberg looks like Chuck Norris of metal :D

[metaldarknesskiller]

@MrSnowyShow2 hahaha yeah

[VicaCOBHC]

[The35954]

ahuennaaaa! ♥

[mapex75]

wow the sound quality is amazing on this vid! probably a bit better than the record IMO... At the Gates LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheLoconate]

lol the singer looks like hes jerking off after he says "GO!"

[alfredisrighthere]

This album is historic and a staple to metal. It also revolutionized the metal sound.

Unfortunately, it also lead to the direct creation of metalcore.

[YoLpIsBest]

@alfredisrighthere

What's bad about metalcore? I found from both genres good bands.

[Iwastman]

CURSED

[uberdeathmetal]

@Iwastman CURSED

[thefreezingmoon1]

RAW!

[judas84000]

this shit is metal? that suxx

[Sodobots]

Make a new album!

[THEGATHERING20]

Nordic death metal is the best by a fucking mile.

[20akilez]

grandes..siempre imitados jamas igualados ..todo lo de moda del metal de hoy ..es gracias a estos compass

[jonatoha666]

coño q cancion mas arrechaaaa¡¡¡¡

[metalmess]

this is what melodic metal was suposed to be

[MyArok]

SAUGEIL!!! Einer der besten Metalbands dies gibt!!!!

[gunnerexplorer]

0:56 what does the tattoo tomas has on his right forearm mean? cause the other day I saw a video where Anders had a tshirt with that symbol on it. what is it?

[Kittycrack84]

This is why im a proud swede!!

[discipleofdeth]

feed of my life

[TheDJJP500]

Very good quality,very good song thanks for the video.

[mrlychan]

14 dislikes and 200,000 + views, has to be some kind of record :D

[highlife294]

Fuckin dog ate my copy of this album now I cant find it in any music store.

[Piasmaffia]

@highlife294

Internet.

[CoD4Ed]

Thought they are bad (just knew "The Red Sky...") but after this Concert I think they are fkin awesome, have to see them :)

[badboyz1123]

the beat on the drums is always the same or what ???

[Cyraxthe666]

@badboyz1123 the same beat can sometimes be a good thing. Look at Razor's Shotgun Justice album. Same beat all the way through, but fuck was it awesome.

[Adalsteinno]

Lindberg is amazing still.

[razandrea]

this is music history..

[astralsleeper100]

great sound, great performance!

[zekky1000]

awesome performance!

[stephenwrightmusic]

It's fucking difficult as shit to get metal to sound good live in recordings and they managed it. At the Gates fucking rules.

[CDGR31]

such a great performance :D

[Estefimetal]

fuuuuck LOVE THEM

[jamesfellerkeller]

Most bands sound like shit live when they're touring for a cd they JUST released. ATG sounds fucking perfect here and its a 15 year old song.

[MrDimebagdarell]

There's just those songs that are exactly what you want to hear, and send chills down your spine.. these are those songs.

[RitXirri]

00:07 again and again and...GO!

[ju1c3t1n]

Jesus Christ, i have never posted on YouTube before but just have to right now...

How good is his voice live?? Its incredible!!! You get the likes of Corey Taylor toning it down coz he says his throat cant take anymore, then you get this guy. EPIC!

[ProphetOfPain]

i wish Tomas would do another Nighrage album ... Sweet Vengeance is still the greatest masterpiece i've ever heard!!

[gioslab]

Amazing !! this people still got it !!!! the voice still the same ! or even better !!!

[KalrogNaar]

masterpiece



[thesm1l3y]

Seen them live at that very Concert! It was fucking legendary!

[DemonicChrist66]

Tomorrow I'll see at the gates at tuska open air!!

[MrVinterstorm]

I Love At The Gates..........\m/ \m/

[azirafall]

beautiful  three quarters:)

[isair81]

..."GO!"

[kil1Them1all]

@lukevertiis goddamn it's metal you pussy

[Matteprof]

Amazing when the whole crowd screams "GO!!" at 0:08 :)

[MrCh33pshot]

0:12 we all see exactly how fun performing this song is.

[lololosergio]

*song

[lololosergio]

Omg, this sing came out in the 90s and the singer sounds the same! Fuck yeah! I love this band!!!

[LinusCooper]

I think when some one says: Heavy Metal sounds like when my grandpa's burping! they just like slooooooow ballads from Eurovision Song Contest and their ears are to slow so it just sounds like when grandpa is burping "Disciple" by Slayer!

[Tie4821]

Best fucking band ever...

[MrNickeh]

guitars aren't really loud enough :/

[bigtaxdizzle]

that guy drumming looks like COF old drummer!! I guess all these euro metal guys look the same!!lol

[yourmomisayeti]

@bigtaxdizzle Is this a troll?

[Chaosdrummer]

@bigtaxdizzle That's because it is Cradle of Filth's old drummer!

[ardyanselmo1989]

They sound more to Thrash Metal than Death metal, no offence

[Kindhorse]

@ardyanselmo1989 They are melodic death metal

[ardyanselmo1989]

They sound more to Thrsh Metal than Death metal, no offence

[victoria4556]

@ardyanselmo1989 I agree dude, some old skool southern sludge as well

[MetalxHardcore95]

nice hat

[peka400]

such a influential group!

[ThrashingBastardHell]

(L)

[TheEldarrr]

Chuck Norris on the vocal! 

[Waazzaahhh]

Holy shit. I got goose bumps when I he said "Go!"

It has been too long since I listened to this song...

5 days but w/e.

[CanukMetaller21]

Opening riff + Tompas GO! = One of the single heaviest moments in metal....way more fucking metal than any other faggotcore band out there.

[MegaSlayTalliThrax]

@CanukMetaller21 couldn't agree anymore with you. idk what it is about anything "core" but i'm just not into it. there are a few metalcore bands that i don't mind like killswitch engage but... i mean.... it's not at the gates material haha

[OPossessedO]

12 "individuals" like and love Juastin Biber

[MrNickeh]

Tomas looks a bit weird with the hat :/

[ExaggeratedDread]

Sad that they cut what he said a few seconds later. I was there and he said "12 years... thank you for waiting." Fucking great!

[Blundern1]

Am I the only one getting a boner?

[TruthFister8600]

I demand these guys do a second reunion! I'm obsessed w/this band.

[DevouredByThem]

I feel chills down my spine every time I hear that massive "GO!"

[420xMetalGuitaristx]

They sound amazing live. \m/

[Freddeswede]

This band makes me proud of being a Swede.

[Blast8Bits]

God fucking damnit!

I know that it will come... But when all the crowd screamed "GO!" I drove into madness!

[Cantoffie]

I saw that someone mentioned that this band has theme! Great.

All the best, Powerfull and meaningful metal has great original theme. That is what makes the genre great. It has a Million themes. Brutality, anti-christianity, paganisic themes, viking, Egyptian, sacrifice, darkness. When I listen to a certain metal song that I like it reminds me of something or puts me in a mental state that only that band can do. I could name obvious ones, but for instance... Atheist is like spacey and expansive

[Supplies4U]

terrible fucking music. metal heads blow. listen to some real music fucking retards

[tigrisnakkana]

@Supplies4U Yeah because real music fans bash on others taste. Grow up

[ginseng1550]

@Supplies4U oh yeah, btw... while your sucking lady ga ga's dick could you ask her to come to an At The Gates concert and see if she would even want to compete with the actuall talent that is needed for this?

[XVCnickski]

@ginseng1550

You can't say Gaga hasn't got any talent. It's only used wrong by the pop industry.

[6The6Deathbanger6]

@ginseng1550 shes a big iron maiden fan, man!

[ginseng1550]

@6The6Deathbanger6 right! what i meant to say was... while your sucking drakes dick could you ask him to come to an At The Gates concert and see if he would even want to compete with the actuall talent that is needed for this?

[mejwyn]

Nice Cursed t-shirt. 

[archatmosphere11]

These guys disbanded before I got into metal, I'm so glad they got back together

[Nathrakhen]

I'm glad there is a HQ Version know. That evening was so awesome with at the gates

[argovarius]

Maybe all the post-1991 sucks. Just repetitions and re-repetitions of Metallica & co., and it is the greatness of At The Gates, who reached the highest level in Melodic Death.

THIS is metal... this has a theme. It's inspired by The Diceman by Luke Rheinhart.

Please, visit Italy!

[vip1691]

The singer looks like a really cool guy.

[vip1691]

Fucking awesome.I didn't expect them to be so good live.

[carlosvg1986]

LAME

[Branaz666]

What guitar does Martin Larsson use in this video?

[Stalingrad778]

Tomas sounds as good as he did in 1995

[MagnuM2980]

@Stalingrad778 Yeah, no.

[fernanni]

@Stalingrad778 I must correct, he sounds 1000 times better with a lot less of throat in his voice, a real pleasure hear this songs played again with great fucking sound... I hope they think in Argentina for their tour...

[egne666]

What the Fuck?! Chuck Norris has long hair and sings in Death Metal band!

This is Holy Amazing shit!

[furysdrummer]

@egne666 His name is Tomas Lindberg and he will fucking destroy Chuck Norrises pussy fagget ass

[metal0411]

This band,this cd are great,I could see them in concert two years ago in getafe (spain)It was a pleasure for me!!!!!

[metal0411]

This band,this cd are great,I could see them in concert two years ago in getafe (spain)It was a pleasure for me!!!!!

[PureHayabusa]

this vocalist looks exactly like the guy from the absence come to think of it

[NumeroUnoGringo]

man, his vocals are inhuman. it doesn't look like he's even breaking a sweat. one bad motherfucker right there.

[eternalus]

i smell quality.

[felipehetfield]

Best vocal ever!!! after years still the same!!

10 idiots shall burn!!

[nothingfocus]

10 people are now probably in the private cemetary of Chuck Norris

[fleshleechers]

I thought in flames was the best band live. Now this kinda makes it hard to decide.

[HellBrYnger]

@fleshleechers

go watch exodus live at wacken.. in flames?! how much more gay could it get.

[zalmanusa]

@HellBrYnger Have you even heard their first two albums?

[TedFunk]

@fleshleechers Not to bust your balls, just my opinion, but In Flames has some of the worst live vocals ive ever heard

[fleshleechers]

@TedFunk if you are mainly pointing towards the live video where they sang (Only for the weak), yes those volcals totally suckt donkeyballs. But in the other live performances, at least in most of them i think they where pretty god damn awesome!

[mcrkiller93]

@TedFunk Finally someone who agrees. Its ok in the studio though

[KHfan4ever23]

I need to see these guys live!

[Orreborrekorre]

@KHfan4ever23 Tomorrow in gothenburg !

[grogmaninteractive]

OMG i didn't know that the singer of At the gates was Chuck Norris

[1t2c3d]

one of the best beginnings ever!!

[thedrumbeast666]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, COME TO NORTH AMERICA, WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TOO LONG

[TedFunk]

@thedrumbeast666 saw them on their final suicidal tour, which i guess wasn't so final. Was their first and last show ever in CO so I was a very happy one. They'll come, be patient.

[GranCaida]

I would sell my soul to fucking satan to see At the Gates play live.

[JU4NCAM4NEY]

@GranCaida I already did, but the fucker wanted my ass as well... ah fuck it, it's worth it!

[DoubleBassDestroyer]

Kicking in the front seat, kicking in the back seat...which seat do i take?

[reet12337]

The bass sound is so fucking awesome and the playing is tight 

[dlxretro]

This is the biggest reason why i payed 1500:- for my metaltownticket this year! (4th in a row for me)!

I never had the chance to see them before they folded the band!

[AndreasIsraelsson]

Fantastisk jävla ljudkvalite håren står som grisapickar på armen så bra är det

[tarikay93]

the sound of the guitars kick ass

[Beholdthesharktopus]

@tarikay93 ENGL heads for power, Marshall cabs for presence. Do want.

[Raevonium]

At the Gates är fan legendariska. LÄNGTAR TILL METALTOWN \m/

[FuckinWurny]

Lindberg has one of the most insane voices I've ever heard.

[THEGATHERING20]

WHY did they have to split up.... the best allways split up or die or something, pisses me off aaaggfhhh, but at least they bowed out in style with epicness off slaughter of the soul which in my opinion is the best melodeath album of all time by a mile! long live ATG.

[joxomoxo]

metaltown 2011 is gonna be awesome!

[eraser979]

3:03 look at that face he looks like chuck norris.

[Bodomterror696969]

of this genre. this is by far the best live performances i have ever seen they sound fantastic

[Khaosreign]

Why can't we have shows like this in the States?

[shtergura]

@Khaosreign cause you're fucking gay

[Khaosreign]

@shtergura Yeah your cool. Even though the majority of great metal bands come FROM the states? Your right. I'm gay. Totally gay. The gayest person in the world.

[macadoolahicky]

@Khaosreign i wouldnt say the majority, but hey we got atheist cynic tool, we had death rip chuck

[TinyKurds]

@shtergura fucking asshole.

[TungstenV]

@shtergura Yeah it's not metal to be gay. Oh wait...

[Ph43H]

@Khaosreign I personally think it's the same reasons Australian's like myself are denied it. The music industry forces utter shit down the throats of the entire population. A show like this would attract fuck all financial backing and support, unfortunately. Then there's the touchy issues of how heavily both countries are at the least governed by very conservative Catholics, who hear the word "Metal" and instantly think it's talentless shit created by Satanists. Sucks, but whatcha gotta do?

[davebreed1]

cannot wait to see them at this years Bloodstock Open Air.

[jack95a]

Awesome! I've never seen a band playing so perfectly!

[FightEEEE]

@Tie4821 get some uppdate ;) atthegates.se/site/

[heavenshallburn02]
